Job 12:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 He looses the sashes of kings
and gives them only a waistcloth to cover their loins.[a]
19 He forces priests to walk barefoot
and overthrows those in positions of power.
20 He silences the lips of trusted counselors
and deprives the aged of their power of discernment.
